    florianSB thanks for reporting this issue. We are aware of this and are working to wire up Speech recognition in the upcoming future versions of Edge for our customers. Once this feature is out in Canary, I will let you know so you can try it out.

florianSB I wanted to let you know that the devs liked your suggestion so much that they've written that error message into code. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂

    florianSB I don't want to make any promises about exactly when it'll go live, but if you can expect to see it soon (if you haven't already.) 🙂

      I've seen in the latest "Top Feedback Summary" that the voice issue has been moved from September to November with the comment "We have been hard at work to improve this feature and you can currently turn it on via command line in Canary"

       

      I was wondering if anybody knows the actual command line command?

        florianSB Good question! Tagging in MissyQ, who writes our Top Feedback, to see if she can provide more info.

      Deleted it looks like the latest dev channel version is throwing some error now, not quite the error I'd expect but good enough :smile:.

      Also I'm excited to see that the "voice search" topic has made it to the top feedback list with the status "planned for September" which will probably fully implement the feature soon and fix all problems with the Web Speech API  :cool:
